I have been a voice of common sense and reason from the time I first opened the mic in 1985 at WFMK in Lansing, Michigan. I have traveled tens of thousands of miles since that day pursuing hard news along with the most colorful personalities I could find. Spending nearly 15 years working as a television news anchor and investigative reporter, I was able to hone my craft. My message connects with people from all backgrounds. The last three years in front of the news camera, I worked for NBC at WCMH in Columbus, Ohio where my investigative reports were regularly featured on CNBC and NBC News Channel. More recently I returned to my radio roots. The Steve Gruber Show launched on four stations in early 2012. The program now has 20 affiliates delivering my voice and unique perspective each morning from 6 AM to 9AM. The Michigan Association of Broadcasters has named the Steve Gruber Show the best network morning show four times so far including the past 2 years in a row. I have interviewed President Donald Trump on the program along with many other notable newsmakers including: Vice President Mike Pence, Senator Rand Paul, Florida Governor Rick Scott, Ann Coulter, Senator Marco Rubio, Steve Forbes, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, Charlie Daniels and many more. The growing success of the program and the strength of my voice attracted attention and I have now become a regular contributor to the BBC on several of its worldwide networks both on radio and television, National Public Radio. I have also been featured on Fox Business, HLN and numerous other outlets. My writing has also been featured in the pages of the Washington Times as well as several prominent websites and magazines. Over the past 25 years, I have been a successful businessman as well. I founded and launched Wolf Creek in 1994, one of the nations most notable and successful outdoor adventure programming companies. While guiding the company, I created several iconic outdoor brands including the longest running television series on The Outdoor Channel, Outdoor America where I am the longest running host on the network. In fact, I own several thriving businesses today with my wife and Executive Producer Ivey. Together we have focused our considerable energy and talents into growing the successful brands. I have lived in many states but have always returned to Michigan. My family and Midwest roots always draw me home. Wanderlust however needs to be fed often so you never know where the next adventure may take me and Ivey, but you can be sure we will regale you with the tales someday soon. Stay tuned. There is always more to come.

Trump May Win Upside Down
It is fair to say that 2016 has been the oddest election season of my life and likely yours as well. Most people cannot remember a Presidential election with so many sharp turns and unexpected surprises.

Hillary’s War
I cannot say for sure where it will be. It might be with Russia on the Syrian frontier. It could be with China in the South Pacific. There could be an ignition point with Iran along the coast of the United Arab Emirates but I am sure it will be somewhere and it is going to be messy...
Trump Expects Thousands
A rally in Novi, Michigan today is expected to draw thousands of Donald Trump supporters. It is the 6th time Trump has been in Michigan in the last few weeks indicating the state is very much in play.

Free College In Michigan
Sanders headlined the rally in New Hampshire and declared it was time for college to be ‘affordable’ for all; which really means they want anyone who has worked hard and gotten a good job that makes good money should be paying for their neighbors kids to go to college...
Dems Demand Flint Cash Now or Else!
Democrats including Michigan’s Congressional delegation are demanding Flint get gobs of money right now or they will shut down the entire US Federal Government.
There has been money set aside for Flint to help the city cleanup from a self imposed water disaster that left much of the municipal supply with unsafe levels of lead but so far the money has not been released...
Cruz On Trump Train
Texas Senator and former Presidential candidate Ted Cruz says he will be voting for Donald Trump come November 8, 2016. Crus who riled up Republicans during the national convention in Cleveland this summer by not endorsing Trump says there simply is not another choice...
The Skunk
My father often said when things got dicey or weren’t going particularly well trying to persuade someone to your side of things; “you can be as nice as you want but sometimes when you want to get results you just have to get shitty.” That is an axiom Donald Trump seems to identify with and completely understand, though I am reasonably sure the two never met...
